Chapter 43: Lao Kang Comes Again (Revised)
Because Zhilu explained the miraculous effect of the fairy fat dew, Shuyun's mood in the past two days was quite pleasant.
But I never thought that at this moment, Lao Kang came to Zhuangzi again.
In fact, Shuyun is also quite depressed, although she very much hopes that Kangxi can understand more about Zhuangzi's shining points. But it doesn't mean that you like to socialize with this high-ranking emperor.
Besides, as an emperor, it's not good to stay in the palace, deal with national affairs, and have nothing to do with his charming little wives. For this question, Shuyun really can't figure it out.
But when he turned his head and thought about it again, come on, anyway, his wound will have to be removed, even if he doesn't come, Shuyun will also ask Bai Li to ask him, if it doesn't work, then he will pass himself into the palace, which will be more troublesome.
Lao Kang was not polite when he saw Shuyun, and directly asked Shuyun to take him to the mountain. The road is so neat, it seems that the leg injury is all healed.
As Lao Kang walked, he said, "Shuyun, I heard that there is a fruit called a big cherry on your mountain. Ago, my fifth brother, Prince Gong Chang Ning, entered the palace and presented a basket to my imperial mother and my imperial mother, I tasted it, it tasted good, and my imperial mother also praised this fruit for its deliciousness. There are a lot of new things in your Zhuangzi, how come you have good things, you don't think about me. It's a shame that I've been so good to you. ”
"Rely on it, how good are you to me, why don't I know what to do. Besides, why do I have to think about you when I have any good things, who are you, I don't know you well. Why is this man so thick-skinned? Shuyun couldn't help but scold.
It is no wonder that Lao Kang and Xiaozhuang think that the big cherries on Shuyun Zhuangzi are good, this big cherry tree has been optimized in space, and the fruit is not only extremely sweet, but also big, full, like agate, and some are about to catch up with the big winter dates, and they taste particularly meaty. It's still planted outside. The ones in the space, after being pollinated by the white jade bee and moistened by the fairy fat dew, are of much better quality.
Everyone will love to eat this big cherry, not to mention that it has been optimized for space. Aren't the emperor and the queen mother human? Lao Kang is interested in this big cherry, and it is also natural, who stipulates that the emperor can't be greedy, and the big cherry is a new thing that has never appeared in the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor is also curious, so it is not surprising that he came here for the big cherry.
Thinking of this, Shuyun was a little relieved. So he smiled and said, "The emperor is so good to Shuyun, how can Shuyun not think about the emperor all the time." It's just that this big cherry is a new thing in our big liquidation, how dare Shuyun rush into the palace and pollute the emperor's dragon's eye. Besides, Shuyun originally just wanted to plant some on Zhuangzi to see if this big cherry could survive in our place in Beijing. If you can survive, wait a few years, and the world will be peaceful. When we don't need so much food anymore. Just grow some saplings and teach them how to plant them. Anyway, as long as this big cherry is planted in the mountains, it doesn't occupy good land. It will not do much damage to the peasants' enthusiasm for growing grain, so that not only will the peasants' income increase, but we will also have a delicious fruit in Daqing. Kill two birds with one stone. And this big cherry is not only delicious, but also has extraordinary nutritional value, has a special therapeutic effect on gout, arthritis and other diseases, and can enhance physical fitness, brain and intelligence. Originally, I didn't think about selling it, but that day someone went to Zhuangzi to buy fish, saw this big cherry, and had to buy it. That's when I sold some to them. ”
Kangxi listened to Shuyun's words and said with a smile, "Hehe, I found that you, everything, must be linked to healing." And everything thinks about our Qing Dynasty, there is great righteousness, and it should be rewarded. ”
While talking, the group came to the mountain, and saw the red, yellow and yellow cherries all over the mountains, and there were dewdrops on them, Lao Kang seemed very happy. Shuyun ordered someone to bring it, and specially asked the farmers to weave a square 5-pound exquisite bamboo basket, and spread another layer of paper in it. Pick those big ones and load 10 baskets for Lao Kang.
Lao Kang also picked a few by himself and ate them on the spot. It seems that this Lao Kang is also a glutton!
And the blueberries on Zhuangzi were also ripe, so Shuyun picked the ones and loaded 5 baskets for Kangxi.
By the time everyone went down the mountain, it was almost noon. So Shuyun said to Kangxi, "Your Majesty, let's eat lunch here, I'll cook it myself, last time because you were injured, I just made a few light side dishes, this time let you have a good taste of my craftsmanship." ”
Kangxi smiled and said, "Okay, I also have this intention." ”
Shuyun made six dishes and one soup.
Steamed salmon
Braised prawns
Cumin lamb
Mix with cucumbers
Crab tofu - remove the gills of the river crab, clean it and scald it in hot water. Put it in a small stone mill made of maifan stone, add some water and grind it into a pulp. Then the crab slurry was strained through gauze, and half a basin of gray-white juice was obtained. Then steam the juice in a pot for a while, then mix the juice with minced coriander, minced green onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, and balsamic vinegar and pour it on top. Add two more drops of sesame oil. The taste is delicious.
Pumpkin baked with egg yolk
The soup is stewed beef brisket with tomatoes
The staple food is carrot omelets
After serving all the food, Shuyun asked again, "Your Majesty, do you want to drink some wine, I have good wine here." ”
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Hehe, what a good wine, I actually came here to show off, bring it to me to taste." ”
So Shuyun took a pot of the "bamboo wine" that she had collected and overflowed from the wine-producing bamboo, and poured it for Kangxi. Lao Kang asked Shuyun to sit down and eat with him, and then took a sip of wine, and then said, "Don't say it, this wine is really good, it's good wine." I haven't really drunk it, but you've got a lot of good stuff here. What kind of wine is this? ”
Shuyun filled Kangxi with wine again, saying, "This wine is called 'bamboo wine', which is overflowing from a bamboo called Jiuzhu." The fragrance is pleasant, the taste is mellow, it can not only cool down the heat, but also has an excellent effect on strengthening the body. Perfect for drinking in this season. ”
Kangxi was very surprised and said, "Oh, there is such bamboo? Then I'm going to drink more today. If there are more, bring me some more when I'm gone. ”
This Lao Kang is really welcome, today is clearly the autumn wind.
After Shuyun agreed with a smile, she said, "There are no wonders in this great world, not only bamboo that can produce wine. In Tianzhu, Brazil in South America and some parts of Africa, there is also a kind of bread tree, which is generally more than 10 meters tall and can reach more than 40 meters high. It bears fruit on its branches, on the trunk of the tree, and even on the roots, and its fruit is called breadfruit, and when it is ripe, it is plucked, put on the fire, and roasted until it is golden brown, and it is ready to eat. The taste is soft and delicious, sweet and sour, and it is often used as a ration. ”
Kangxi was eating and drinking while listening to Shuyun's narration. When Shuyun finished speaking, he said, "Shuyun, it seems that you have really been to a lot of places." You talked about Africa, South America, and so on, and I heard from the missionaries. However, they only said a rough idea, that is, what is it called the New World, and as for what products are on it, they don't know how much. Since you know the Tao in such detail, tell me about it. ”
If there is a chance to let this closed feudal emperor look at the world, Shuyun will of course spare no effort. So he readily agreed, saying, "Those missionaries should have told the emperor that the world we live in is a spherical shape, and they named it the earth. The fact that ships or land in the distance always see them rising gradually proves that this conclusion is correct. Later, the famous Portuguese navigator and explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, proved in practice that the earth is round by circumnavigating the world from east to west and returning to the place of departure. Through continuous exploration, those foreigners discovered that the earth is divided into three parts of the land and seven parts of the ocean, and the land is surrounded by the ocean. Among them, there are seven great landmasses of land."
While eating, the two talked with great interest. The rules of not eating and sleeping are also forgotten.
By the time we were almost done, we were full of wine and food.
Shuyun poured another cup of mung bean soup for Lao Kang, and held a glass of strawberry juice for herself. While drinking, he asked, "How is the emperor's injury, I'll show you again, your wound is almost about to be removed." ”
"The Imperial Doctor said that my injuries were treated in a timely manner, and there is no major problem, thanks to you," Lao Kang said, stretching out his hand to ask Shuyun to take his pulse.
Shuyun carefully checked the pulse, and then said, "The emperor is recovering well, but mung bean soup and milk, you must insist on drinking it, and it is best to drink it for another month." The medicinal diet that nourishes the five internal organs should also be eaten for another three months. I'll go get the tool and remove the stitches for you. You take off your pants first, leaving the wound exposed. ”
After Shuyun finished speaking, she went back to the room to get the medicine box.
In fact, it is best to hang some normal saline to dilute the toxicity in Lao Kang's blood. As for saline, there are a lot of them in the Shuyun space. It's just that those matching bottles, tubes and needles, if Lao Kang sees them, he will have to ask questions again, and Shuyun is troublesome. Besides, Lao Kang is not a person who is very close to Shuyun, so he has to do his best and pay a lot of money to be treated, as long as he doesn't have an accident in his Zhuangzi. So I didn't take it out for him.
When Shuyun returns, Lao Kang is ready. He had bare legs, and his thighs were covered with a placket, and the inside was empty. Regarding the fact that people in the Qing Dynasty did not wear underwear, Shuyun was really speechless. Even the supreme emperor is a virtue, what more could you ask for!
Seeing the somewhat embarrassing scene, Shuyun asked Kangxi's consent again and called Baksh in.
Then Shuyun checked it and found that the wound was healing very well. After the poison is eliminated, bow your head and start to carefully remove the stitches.
At this moment, Lao Kang spoke, and a faint smell of wine emanated from his mouth, mixed with the smell of ambergris on his body, filling Shuyun's nose. "Shuyun, I heard that you have bought a few shops and want to do business, what's the matter, are you short of money to spend? If you are short of money, can you tell me, why do you have to do such a cheap job? ”
Shuyun said with a smile while removing the stitches, "Do it yourself, do you have enough food and clothing?" Not to mention that there are so many people in Zhuangzi. You can't rely on the emperor to help you for a lifetime. Always looking for something to make a living. Shuyun is going to sell candy, I make it myself, it tastes very good, when the emperor leaves, I will bring you some, and you can taste it too. Save you from saying that Shuyun has good things and don't think about you. ”
Kangxi didn't answer and muttered for a moment. When Shuyun was about to finish dismantling the thread, Kangxi waved his hand to let Baksh retreat. Only then did he say softly, "Are you really not going to reconsider being my concubine, I can make you a concubine." ”
